Tate's sticky sponsorship 01.07.2010.

01.07.2010.

In normal times, The Tate Gallery would no doubt be celebrating its sticky sponsorship of B.P. for the last twenty years. It's no accident either that it has just 'launched' (at Tate Britain) the exhibition 'Harrier and Jaguar' in which two fighter jets which have served in 38 Iraqi 'Missions' are displayed in the neo-Classical hall.

How sweet! Tate sponsors
two great British trades-war and
large-scale pollution.

Sticky sponsorships
demonstrate artfulness, the
art of destruction.

Tough on Police Forces. 30.06.2010.

30.06.2010.

Sir Hugh Orde, President of ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) and a former Police Chief was displeased by the Home Secretary's annual address to the ACPO conference in Manchester yesterday.
Theresa May revealed that cuts across the crime-fighting spectrum meant that public satisfaction targetting would be scrapped. Police 'needed to just fight crime' rather than be seen to be fighting crime, she inferred. Sir Hugh suggested mainstreaming and sharing police resources and scrapping specialist units. 'We just don't have the numbers' he said.


We can't say 'we've got
your number' any more. We
don't have the numbers.

'Tough on the Old Bill,
tough on the causes of the
Old Bill' Home Sec.'s speech.

Caesarean section. 29.06.2010.

A target to reduce the ridiculous number of births by Caesarean section in Britain on the NHS (a surgical procedure which involves several nights stay in hospital and often leads to medical complications later) sometimes by mothers in their thirties and forties who want a baby but not the pain involved has been quietly dropped. The risks associated with this procedure have been dismissed as 'a myth' by 'experts'.

on Caesarean births, more
babies dropped through cuts.
